Hungary does not seem to be in particularly good form lately. They missed out on victory at the start of the qualifiers. They were leading 2-0 away against Ireland, but in the end, with one player less, the Hungarians conceded an equalizer for a final score of 2-2. Thus, their only win in the last seven matches was against Azerbaijan in a friendly. At the same time, Hungary has not won in their last five home games.
Meanwhile, Portugal is enjoying a good start to the qualifiers. After winning the Nations League in June, they began with a 5-0 victory in their away match against Armenia. The ageless Cristiano Ronaldo shone again with two goals for the win, and the somewhat forgotten João Félix also stood out with two goals. Historically, Portugal has never lost to Hungary and has achieved eight wins and one draw in their nine encounters.
Prediction: victory for Portugal and over 1.5 goalsThe two teams are in opposite form lately, with the Hungarians being the weaker side. So I would prefer to choose a win for Portugal here. Hungary might score a goal, but I don't believe it will help them achieve victory; rather, it should go to Portugal again.
